The Covers of Headline Detective

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

From 1939 to 1944, Headline Detective was published by MacFadden Publications.  It was one of the many pulp magazine to focus on stories of true crime, thievery, murder, and femme fatales.  Here’s a sampling of the cover of Headline Detective.  Where known, the artist has been credited.

Go Where No Man Has Gone Before With The Covers of Gold Key’s Star Trek!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Today is the 57th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek on NBC.  When the show was first airing on television, Gold Key Comics won the rights to publish a Star Trek comic book.  The comic book lasted even after the show was canceled, running from 1968 to 1979.  The comics adapted a few episodes from the show but, for the most part, it was a separate series with its own storylines.  In 1979, when Star Trek was revived as a film, the producers declined to renew their contract to Gold Key and instead entered into a partnership with Marvel.

Here’s a sampling of the covers of Gold Key’s Star Trek.

Rangers Update!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

It’s time for a baseball update!

The last time I wrote about the current season on this site, I was feeling mighty cocky because the Rangers were in first place and all the other teams in the AL West were struggling.  I was excited and, no matter how many times I said that I knew anything could happen, I really was envisioning that World Series victory in my head.

Now, much later into the season, the Rangers have fallen to third.  We are just a few games behind The Mariners and the Astros and anything could happen but it’s still not where I want us to be right now.  I’m not even trying to think about the fact that, if they hit a hot streak, the Angels could even catch up to us.

I’m trying to stay positive, though!  Here’s every Rangers homerun from August!
